Brief summary

Detailed description

The ultrasound-guided approach for the blockade of articular branches of femoral and obturator nerves, pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, is an effective method for postoperative analgesia in hip surgeries. However, it fails to provide cutaneous analgesia on the anterolateral surgical incisional site. This study compares the effects of wound infiltration and lateral femoral nerve blocks in combination with PENG blocks for postoperative pain in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty for coxarthrosis.

Interventions

PROCEDUREWound infiltration

Wound infiltration was performed in combination with PENG block
